Kansas coach Bill Self was fined and reprimanded by the NCAA for teaching the scorer’s table a lesson during the Jayhawks’ NCAA Tournament game vs. North Carolina.

Self damaged the LED scorer’s table at some point in the first half when he struck it in frustration. His top-seeded Jayhawks did not play well in the opening 20 minutes vs. the No. 9 Tar Heels and trailed 30-21 at halftime.

“After shooting 25 percent, scoring 21 points and 12 turnovers in the first half, my emotions got the best of me,” Self said in a statement released by the school.

The release of frustration did his team good. Kansas outscored UNC in the second half 49-28, taking over the lead for good just five-plus minutes into the second half.

“Coach Self’s actions were out of line with the committee’s expectations that championship participants act in a manner that represents the highest standards of sportsmanship,” said Ron Wellman, chair of the Division I Men’s Basketball Committee.
